Webkit is also on Apple (Cocoa?) and the S60 platform (not sure what toolkit they use). Hence I assumed Webkit is designed in such a way to slap on any sort of front end. Though you know best. :) Be great to have a native build of Webkit on my machine for testing! I’ve assumed Webkit is ‘toolkit ambiguous’.

Now, the not so nice thing that I read a few weeks ago, after I started working on the WebKit package, is that Trolltech wants to incorporate WebKit into Qt... so we'll probably end up with code duplication. The sad thing is Qt's WebKit will surely *not* include the Gdk "port", so there will still be no choice for WebKitGdk... I hope it will be possible to build this version of Qt against our WebKit Qt package. The epiphany package I hacked only uses the WebKit backend, because it was just easier to do so. I'd recommend the maintainers to create an epiphany-browser-webkit additional package to the current ones, instead.

That said, experimental's gtk/glib break a lot of things. :) experimental’s gtk/glib don’t make the warnings fatal, but experimental’s gnome-session does; you can disable this feature by unsetting G_DEBUG in the env.

Could you share the same packages I wonder? And just have different front ends? I am trying to understand what you are doing. Why are you basing Epiphany on Webkit instead of Gecko? Or are you doing both? Please elaborate. Keep it up, very interesting stuff! :) How does this Webkit distro differ from Konquerer’s?
